OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

The average stay for guest attending the graudation is 3 days. There are many variables in deciding how long you want to stay in our area. One is: will your Recruit leave for his or her new duty station on the next day or will the Recruit remain at Naval Station Great Lakes. Or, do you plan to make your visit here a mini vacation. One thing about Navy Lodge, we only charge for the days that you stay with us. So, if you make a 3 day reservation, if you check out by noon on the second day, you will only be charge for 2 days.
